SOME THINGS YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED, if you were out, you know, having a life over the weekend:

A Dick Durbin insider-trading scandal?

Reports from the Houston Tea Party Pelosi Protest, where over 600 showed up.

Plus, other rallies in Columbia, Missouri (hundreds) and New Richmond, Ohio (over a thousand).

Obama folks worried that his enormous spending might hurt Democrats in 2010.

Disappointment with the Justice Department on gay marriage.

Don’t try National Health until you can fix Medicare first.

Some inappropriate laughter.

Posts on underwater scooters and digital cameras. Plus, the lameness of The Sims 3.

Rep. Laura Richardson (D-CA), lousy neighbor.

And, of course, more problems for Chris Dodd.
